Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who has lashed out repeatedly at Republicans and the Tea Party movement, is up for reelection. Whitehouse has a lot of money in the bank, and surely will use his connections to the White House in the campaign, but is vulnerable....

I get so infuriated when Republicans pile on Sarah Palin not over policy but through personal insult because these people don’t seem to understand that they are joining in a mob which eventually will come around to beat down their own favorite candidate.  And as of today,...

As I’ve said before, I like Michele Bachmann.   Not surprisingly, Bachmann has come under the same types of snide attack as Sarah Palin from the mainstream media, entertainment industry and left-blogosphere.  There is a special place reserved for conservative women in the Democratic toolkit of mockery and derision....

The State of Ithaca, NY, has been the subject of multiple posts here, reflecting on what it is like living in “10 Square Miles Surrounded By Reality.” One question I frequently hear is, “Is there a Tea Party in Ithaca?” The answer is, yes there is,...

I’m not buying all the phony expressions of outrage from left-bloggers and pundits over the Gawker article about Christine O’Donnell. From the moment she won the primary, O’Donnell was sexualized by the left with the excuse being O’Donnell’s 1996 video regarding masturbation.  That 14-year old tape...

What is it with my law school classmates? First it was Eliott Spitzer. Now it’s Congressman John Adler.  No, not in that way. Adler, a Democrat from southern New Jersey, is a freshman congressman, swept into office on Obama’s coattails in a conservative district.  Adler came...
